A man, dressed in a dark suit and white shirt, smiles while seated at an event. Behind him is a collage of black-and-white photographs of various individuals. The blurred heads of audience members are visible in the foreground, creating a sense of depth. The man appears engaged, possibly in a conversation or discussion. The setting suggests a formal or semi-formal event.

Join us for an insightful conversation with acclaimed journalist and author Brian Rowan as he delves into his latest work, 'Impossible Peace'. This compelling project, part of the Ceasefire 30 initiative, reflects on the pivotal headlines of 1994 and follows the ongoing journey from conflict in Northern Ireland.

Explore how Northern Ireland's complex Past continues to shape its Present, and how the shadows of unresolved truth still linger. This event will also be an opportunity to discuss creative storytelling approaches to capturing the history of the region, offering a deeper understanding of how to navigate the intersections of memory, conflict, and peace.

Whether you are a history enthusiast, a storyteller, or simply curious about the long road towards peace, this conversation promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking reflection on Northern Ireland’s journey.
